I think the better ones help. Short of taking the heads off the easiest
way to tell if they help your truck would be improved gas mileage and/or
running smoother. I read a write up a few years ago in European Car about
Lubro-Moly products and tried them. I thought they were very good. I
tried their Jectron (injector cleaner) and Ventil Sauber (valve cleaner)
and the mileage on my old volkswagen increased a mile or two on average and
ran smoother at idle and take off. This car had 180k on it. The main
ingredient in the Jectron is Naptha which is a main ingredient, I believe,
in flame throwers.
